Arnold Gonzalez vs. Jose Luis Prieto

Manta, Ecuador – 20 November 2021

UBO Inter-Continental & South America Titles

Arnold Gonzalez put a thick line under his potential, when he won the vacant Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO) Inter-Continental and South America titles on Saturday night, November 20, in the city of Manta in his ancestral home-country Ecuador.

The 26-year-old Ecuadorian-American, impressively controlled and stopped former WBC regional titlist Jose Luis “El Tigre” Prieto in five rounds, in the main event of a show promoted by Capital Box at the Coliseo Tohali.

Gonzalez started the fight imposing his strength, forcing Prieto on the back foot. He boxed nicely to open up his opponent, mixing in hurtful punches to body and head, while Prieto used his experience, blocking many of the shots and attempting to counter off the ropes.

Four rounds went by with much of the same, Gonzalez going forward and Prieto remaining defensive but dangerous in spurts. But when round five was about to start, Prieto claimed injury and disappointingly retired on his stool.

Winning his first professional titles, Gonzalez improved his unblemished professional record to 9-0 (5).

Prieto, who earlier this year showed he still has something to offer when he beat former Colombian champion Yuri Mendez, drops to 28-11 (18).

The fight was aired live nationally on Ecuador TV, and internationally via Facebook.

Arnold Gonzalez vs. Luis Prieto

Manta, Ecuador 20/11/21

UBO South America Welterweight Title

Even before he made his professional debut, Ecuadorian-American Arnold Gonzalez (26) was a lead sparring partner for one of the greatest fighters of all time, eight division world champion and Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao.

On November 20, Gonzalez, now 8-0 (4), will attempt to win his first pro championship, the Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO) South America Welterweight title, when he squares off with Colombian Jose Luis Prieto, 28-10 (18), in Manta, Ecuador.

While still an amateur Gonzalez travelled to Los Angeles in 2018, and started working out at the famous Wild Card Gym. When Paquiao, also training there, was preparing to fight Adrien Broner, Gonzalez offered his services for sparring, and did so well that he was asked to be a regular on the team.

He also helped Pacquiao get ready for his fights with Keith Thurman and Yordenis Ugas, and the many rounds of sparring, hours of road-work and invaluable advice from a living legend, has possibly helped Gonzalez progress as a fighter more than anything else.

But Gonzalez doesn’t just want to emulate Pacquiao in the gym. His plan is to build a huge fan-base in his ancestral homeland, just like “The Pacman” has done in the Philippines, and eventually push Ecuadorian boxing to new heights.

The fight against Prieto will be his fifth straight outing in Ecuador, and another step towards reaching his goal of one day becoming a world champion.

If successful, he would be only the second Ecuadorian world champion in history, following current IBO Super Middleweight ruler Carlos Gongora.

Gonzalez has all the tools to be a major star in Ecuador, but first he will have to get past the much more experienced Prieto and win the UBO South America crown.

Promoted by Capital Box, the fight will be televised live by Ecuador TV and streamed world-wide via Facebook.

Arnold Gonzalez vs. Jose Luis Prieto

Coliseo Tohalli in Manta, Ecuador 20/11/21

UBO South America Welterweight Title

Undefeated Ecuadorian-American Arnold Gonzalez, 7-0 (3), is set for his first professional championship fight, challenging for the vacant Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO) South America Welterweight title on November 20.

Born and raised in New York by Ecuadorian parents, twenty-six year old Gonzalez will face seasoned Colombian Jose Luis Prieto, 28-10 (18), at the Coliseo Tohalli in Manta, Ecuador.

The fight will be promoted by Capital Box, televised live nationally by Ecuador TV, and streamed world-wide on Facebook.

Gonzalez turned professional in February of 2019, and had his first four bouts in the United States, three of them on undercards of major fights staged by Premier Boxing Champions at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Fighting for the fourth straight time in Ecuador, he will be the main attraction on November 20, facing an opponent with far more experience in Prieto, a former WBC regional titlist.

Despite mixed results in recent years, Prieto (36) showed last April that he is still a tricky foe for younger opponents when he defeated ex Colombian national champion Yuri Mendez over eight rounds.

This is a genuine crossroads fight between up-and-comer and veteran. For Gonzalez it is a chance to win his first title and build on a growing fan-base in his second home-country. For Prieto it is an opportunity to become a champion again, and fully revive his career.

Both are determined to be successful!
